Re: pic: 294's First Inventor Robot (pic 1)...
Nice job with the robot. Looks like you're capable of doing everything with that, grab the goal and hang. What are the two square tubes in the back for?
Also, how large and visible is "294" milled out in your side plates? We did the same thing on both sides of the frame on our robot and the judges had an issue with this in New Jersey saying it wasn't visible enough. Our "237" was about four inches high and outlined in red flames. We had to get larger letters on the sides of our robot before we could compete. This was just a certain judges' preference so you may not have issues but I just wanted you to know. It might also have been possible to put something colored behind the lettering to make it stand out more.
